Start Chromium from a terminal with chromium-browser --password-store=basic

Log in to a web page (in my case, gmail)

Close Chromium

It should now start normally.

Reason

I found the bug is already reported here. My default starting page was the gmail login page (it's password pages that cause the crash).
I was able to start the program so that it stays open with the option '--password-store=basic'. Doing this seemed to fix some problem with my synced password keystore.
